Kinda' hard not to take advantage of upgrade discounts on some new hardware, so I started "round 2" of upgrades last week. Time to complete is about 3 1/2 weeks...with most of that waiting for JPI to process the exchange, programming, and shipping of an EDM930. They took my EDM900 in exchange for what I paid for it 4 years ago under a "Sun 'n Fun" special.
Things on the docket for this round...
Trade up G500 for G500Txi
Install GCU485 PFD controller
Trade up GTN750 for GTN750xi
Remove KX165, install GTN650xi
Trade JPI EDM900 for EDM930
Install Eaton lighted pushbutton to provide ARINC-429 GPS/NAV switching for ESI-500 backup ADI
Add GSB15 USB charger underneath audio panel
Existing panel...
This looks surprisingly-familiar...
Dry-fitting new panel, showing GDU1060 and GCU485 PFD Controller...
Ready for shaping and clean-up before powder-coating
Old and new panels aligned. Never realized how much bigger the GDU1060 is than the GDU620...
